It's consistent if the author comes out and predicts other things non-tool (i.e. agentic) AI are likely to do in the future. Otherwise it's a suspiciously specific argument.

The Culture's not an anarchy, it's just a standard "liberal" (not exact on definitions) surveillance state. A lot of what's shown is 2003 Iraq war style preventative policing, but that's obvious selection effec

Is the statement about the watch a joke? I guess so, unless there's some conspiracy to trick non-owners...

Is that actually true? If you go along with something that gets everyone killed, there's no do-over. Even if the core of the dispute is on scientific fact.

Right, but human supremacy is an argument from power, or recommended power. Gain power, gain control, win. You are not required to care about animals.

Do you still have your master's thesis?

Absolutely not, the other current effort is on a few Lexus systems, I don't know its current status. Accelerate by wire, but drive by wire.

I know what a sigmoid curve is, but I don't want to see where it bottoms out.

It is a negative event. I see the sign of the exponential, and it's the wrong one.

I think the point is that not everything is commonly disputed, even if it's a "somewhat recent" discovery like lead causing problems.

Not in the near future, because compilers will still emit weird code in the presence of UB. The hardware enforces more stuff, and it makes it more likely you'll get a crash instead of the program continuing in a bad state, but it absol

How much time do you have? In real time, I'm not super optimistic. If you don't care about speed you're just limited by storage and maintenance.

I guess Paul Christiano is the right person, given his old idea of "500 AI alignment scientists for every theoretical physicist". Other candidates probably don't have enough experience directing large teams.

They did, I read the report. Probably since 2020 or 2021 at the latest.

Can you write it somewhere else then link it?

Tell me what they are. I won't do any of those things.

One of the major uses of IQ tests is to measure brain damage, otherwise why would they be mostly calibrated in the downwards direction? Who do you think pays for these things?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McEliece_cryptosystem Yes, it's reasonably fast even at very long lengths, but the main problem is the very long lengths. Code based and not hash based though. Edit: not very fast to

I don't agree, unless you really need to go for SBF style risk management. Predicting the future is hard, it's good to leave a buffer.

Can't you train a predictor on skull shape/bone length and IQ and go from there? Yeah there's no causation there, but you should be able to give a percentage that someone's IQ is above a certain number depending on high-

Are you sure about that? It's not literally Rods From the Gods but it's a high density high heat resistance metal chunk, going very fast.

I know what you're referencing, but I always held the bottom of my screen as down and most enemies forwards.

It depends what you mean by "antivaxer", what is the subclinical myocarditis rate for ACAM1000 again? (Not ACAM2000, I'm very specifically talking about ACAM1000)

I don't know, what's rationality's current reputation?

by Vecr 3y ago
You can say QM is deterministic either somewhat trivially in configuration space or with superdeterminism. That's probably good enough for God. Edit: or even Bohm, if you're pushing "initial state" to the breaking point.

Nah, I never understood it. You'd probably be better off writing your own from scratch that does exactly what you want it to do. I've written both MBR and EFI bootloaders, but for MBR it's probably better to copy at least som

You'll have enough fingers if you get your portrait done by a sub-par AI artist.

I think Person of Interest already did it. Involved ASI systems though.

Code based systems are still in, and classic McEliece could be extended to ~50 MiB for a keypair and still be way more practical than QKD. Just run the max current classic McEliece spec hybrid post quantum with X448.

Yeah, imagine if they didn't check and it turned out to work somehow. Various biological stuff would have probably been a better bet, I think they took the psy stuff too far in some places.
